ldaho State is no longer without a president-the tall term brought with it many new taces. Leader among these was a man from the University at Wyoming, Dr. William E. Davis. President Davis at 36 years is one ot the youngest, but nonetheless ettec- tive, college presidents in the United States. Dr. Davis's new ideas and great enthusiasm have made citizenry ot ldaho aware ot the present educa- tional otterings and tuture potential ot ldaho State University. Students ot ldaho State are proud to claim Dr. Davis as their president and wish to work closely with him to build a greater university. I Neff-fe if? ie l ima: if ff! 'E i?i lg Q 1 -' ,i i 1 .i.

One of the problems faced by any educational institution is the formidable task of malntalnlng close individual contact with its students, and the university yearbook certainly is one of the most effective instru- ments of communlcatlon. During my first few months as a member of the campus community, I have continued to be impressed with the University, the development of its facllltles and programs, its capable faculty and staff and with what obviously has been a long-range viewpoint on the part of the Trustees and the people of Idaho. Contributing ln large measure to this over-all impression is the friendly, enthu- slastic spirit ol' an able student body. While the University justifiably may take pride in its past accomplishments, we must now look tothe road ahead by continuing to lmprove and to develop programs which will meet the needs of greater numbers of Idaho's young people. With the continued interest and support of students and staff, along with the lawmakers and the citizens of the state, I am convinced that Idaho State University can lool: forward to a bright future -- a future in which I am proud to have a part. May your yearbook now serve as a cherished memento of this year of your life at Idaho State University and as a reminder in years to come of the role you have played in becoming a part of its proud iradltions.
